Huh? Android uses the Linux kernel...

• ne0phyte 12y ago
  But people and apps often refer to "Linux on Android" while it's nothing but a chroot environment. Android is already running the Linux kernel. Calling it "running Linux on Android" is stupid.

  Well, it's been forked for a while, and has grown apart in many ways... if we consider it to still be the Linux kernel though, then "Linux on xyz Android device" is meaningless from the start.

    It's not meaningless, it's short for "regular Linux distro".
